392 Rebuild a retaining wall, put handrails on stairs, resurface steps, and replace a piece of broken flashing. The crew was great, punctual, on-time, very professional, very pleased with everything great company would work with them again.
Miller Contracting and ExcavationInstalled new garage man door not level or plumb; refused to fix. Never returned to finish retaining wall. Retaining wall contract called for versa-loc wall. Contractor used small blocks from Lowe's that do not interlock and are only for wall less than two feet. This wall is nearly six feet...
The installers were punctual and friendly. Installation went great with no problems.
Nest ExpressionsPretty well, we discussed where to put the system. Unfortunately, the installer said it could not be installed around the corner from the entry (after he had already drilled the hole for the entry wall). He showed us why, but it wasn't perfectly convincing, but he could have been right...
Airtech Radon Services IncThey did a great job replacing our old retaining wall. Our new wall is beautiful! The work was delayed a few times due to bad weather (not the company's fault in any way). I only wish I could communicate with them more via email instead of phone calls. However, they were always courteous.
Herrmann Construction Co.The retaining wall is great. It looks like the last one we got from them. Great quality and price. We just had a concrete contractor at our house to give us an estimate on another job and he said we should have took Steel City to the justice of the peace to get our money back on the driveway...
Jason and his team came in and replaced my retaining wall as well as removed a stump in my front yard. Overall the project was a lot of fun to work with Jason, the yard looks great and Jason had a lot of great recommendations during the project. Jason worked with the elements and showed...
Palat Landscaping IncThe installation went fairly well. The Installer arrived at stated time and the job was completed within the timeframe noted. We were told we would not see any hardware (I.e. Screws) when the job was finished; however, the plugs used to cover the screws were never installed. A subsequent call...
Bella RailingsWe loved the plan Glen designed for the flower beds in the front of our house. The workers were very professional. We are very happy with the design (plants, trees and lighting.) We have already talked to Glen about a retaining wall and will be sure to use them in the future.
I called and made an appointment for an estimate for a new retaining wall. He called that day, about 15-30 minutes before the appointment, to say he was stuck in traffic over an hour away. We set another date and time and he never even bothered to show up for that one.

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
A paver patio can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years, depending on the type of pavers and how well you maintain them.
Travertine pavers are usually the most durable, lasting 100 years or more, with regular maintenance. Concrete brick pavers have a variety of shapes and colors available and typically last 25 to 50 years. Traditional brick pavers have a more classic look, lasting around 20 years with proper maintenance.
Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:
Location
Yard size
Project size
Materials
Land preparation
Type of landscaping
Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
